the hostility was extremely high i went to riyadh as special representative of rafsanjani. i meant the crown prince ameer abdullah. that time he was the main decisionmaker, three, four hours meeting in his home privately from 11:00 at night till 4:00, 5:00 in the morning. and we were able to agree on a comprehensive package for bilateral relations. on economic relations, political relations, security issues, security concerns we had, they had. that who is the real estates from 18996 to 2005 at the end of rafsanjani's period, we had the best relation between iran and saudi arabia, even better than the relation during the shah. this is really the reason i believe today iran, saudi arabia crisis can be managed easily. i understand saudis are very much concerned about the rise of influence of iran in the region. when they look at afghanistan, iraq, lebanon, syria, everywhere they see iran has upper hand. that is why they have mobilized their forces, but they are on wrong track which they would be the first victim. i really believe sincerely, frankly, iran would not be vulnerabl

now to confront isis in syria and iraq now cower in riyadh. maybe in the saudis man up, mr.bama and congress will too. ouch. >> i think they all have to man up, hopefully out of this nato summit the western powers will come up with a little something and the saudis will follow. but without american leadership this world is in trouble on isis, ukraine and everything else. heather: that is what so many experts are saying. karen elliot house, thank you so much. you've got a book out about this and write for "the wall street journal" well. thank you. >> thank you. jon: 7-eleven clerk taking a break when two men come out of know where and knife the poor guy in the stomach. all caught on cam ralph. police want your help. >>> plus "tmz" reporting that a survivor of this guy's deadly murder spree, the so-called happy face killer, is suing lifetime television. why? well she is not happy that she was portrayed as a prostitute in the film. our legal panel weighs in. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here create

>> what overlay this is entire confrontation is tune -- tehran and riyadh, saudi arabia. so you've got that going on and what do you have going on in iraq? you have a sunni army, a vicious army moving down to take sunni territory on top of the sunni tribe, so that's the only way isis is being supported. you can't get that few number of fighters to have the support unless you have the support of the indigenous populations. the iranians are hoping that we get in and just decimate isis and as many sunnis as possible because it frees things up for them. at the same time, riyadh is not too happy about isis because isis represents the evil incarna incarnate. >> so basically we stepped right back into that centuries old battle between the sunni and the shiia as we try to fight this blood thirsty group isis, how do you navigate that? i want to talk a little bit about the man who's letting isis, al baghdadi. sit likely we could wake up one morning and he's been taken out like osama bin laden? >> that's where we can get some help from these arab countries that do not want to direct

. >> supports from riyadh say that what brought the saudis in off the sidelines was the appointment of haider al abadi as the new prime minister. that was a necessary pre-condition, to move nouri al-maliki. >> i think it's a shift, but it's not nominal. i think haider al abadi is a different politician and leader than his predecessor, but what moved the saudis to move with iraqi closely is the threat of isis that they have tens of thousands of people inside saudi arabia who could turn against the house, and that makes the threat existential to the saudis. >> on the last edition of this program it was noted that germany for the first time since the second world war, is aiding a country outside of its borders militarily aiding one side in a military conflict. this is a big deal. it's the peshmerga. it's the kurdish army. does that complicate the future pick of iraq? >> kurds has been a hot topic in iraq and for the irans as well as the syrians. i don't want to say--look, the kurds have been a huge partner for the united states and the iraqi government. there has been a shift in attitude

out there talking and really all three totally all three have very different senses of humor at riyadh's kind of are the dry humored cynic of the bunch kneels just like the lovable baby of the munch and i don't really know what my your kind of a sister is in a confident was bossy is like your bossy she's. so i think that comes across you live and how do you guys like your boy playing brother will always good you know everyone asked well do you like and we said yeah you know ken we want to marry in the fleet improves and hey we get every tickets to baseball game that's not pretty that's not that and i meet him. one j.p. actually walks through a signing line in a meet and greet before one of our shows and i thought that it was just that serendipitous but apparently for a couple years actually when he saw the if i die young music video he told his buddy who he was with is like i'm going to going to marry that girl and so i took him a couple years to really find his way organically and see where the sphere of the band perry but it was special thing when he had to call your brothers to yes th

tonight from the state department that there will be a follow up meeting with sareef or others going to riyadh has not happened. >> that's astonishing. is the basis of those discussions the issue of isis and the situation in syria? >> reporter: yes. that is what's so unusual about this. so this will not be the broad coalition of the willing that george bush, george herbert walker bush was able to put together in 1991 when saddam hussein invaded kuwait. and you saw what jim baker was able to do in getting the world aligned. in fact, as you were just discussing with chris jansing, president hollande was reluctant to talk about france. this is all in the air, and there needs to be a ground component, but that is not ready yet. there's no way that the syrian free army can be trained that quickly. we were told it was going to take up to a year to train 5,000. according to martin dempsey's testimony last week. and you also have the iraqi army which is woefully unprepared and turned and fled when mosul and other areas were targeted. there is really very little on the ground in iraq aside from shiite

but i have to say, go back to as 2005, 2006 and think of a brutal murder by al qaeda cell in riyadh,saudi arabia. they picked up at a u.s. chokepoint an american engineer on his way to the military base to do repairs on aircraft. when they beheaded him, that was one of the most horrible, horrible things i have ever witnessed. i'm not going to talk about it because it was so bad. but i was there when the police took down that terror cell. the man's head was found in the refrigerator. these people are utterly barbaric, utterly ruthless. when i look at this material now, it's been sanitized a little compared to the way that it used to be portrayed. so there is some sanitizing going on there. it is, however, barbaric and horrible and i don't like to look at it myself. >> dan rather was on tv over the weekend. this is what he said. >> we have to understand that the shock of the beheadings will begin to fade a little bit as time goes along. isis, as smart as they are, i would argue they're in the same league in the social media war context as hitler was in the 1930s and their use of propag

. >> because surely we're not going to see any time soon officials in teheran and riyadh working together, for instance. >> i would question whether or not that's entirely unlikely, particularly when it comes to something like isis. as you mentioned, as you alluded to, there are obviously stumbling blocks between those two countries. there are also stumbling blocks within the arab league itself, particularly as we see and have seen over the past year and a half, almost something akin to a proxy war between different alliances within the arab league itself. but the i.s. threat i think is something they will take extremely seriously, and i'd be surprised to see if they ignored that threat. the question is how much they're going to actually do. and right now, the statements from the arab league are full of condemnation, but in terms of actual action on the ground, they're quite light. and i wonder if we're going to see any change in that regard. >> surely action on the ground and wiping out islamic state would also involve moving any kind of campaign into syria as well. can you also see how

one of the founding members of the moderate rebel movement, riyadh al assad today on his twitter account the air strikes. he was one of the biggest u.s. allies and said this was just like the american invasion in iraq against saddam hussein and said this would lead to catastrophe. this is a leader of the moderate rebels who we are supposed to be helping. >> wow. richard engel, thanks so much for your time. >> this is a quagmire, a real mess. >> thank you, though. >>> coming up, where is this bombing campaign going and what happens next? we're live at the pentagon, next. ♪ mmm mmm mmm mm mmm mm mmmmmm here we go, here we go, here we go. ♪ fifty omaha set hut ♪ losing feeling in my toes ♪ ♪ nothing beats that new car smell ♪ ♪ chicken parm you taste so good ♪ ♪ nationwide is on your side ♪ mmm mmm mmm mm mmm mm mmmmmm that corporate trial by fire when every slacker gets his due. and yet, there's someone around the office who hasn't had a performance review in a while. someone whose poor performance is slowing down the entire organization. i'm looking at you phone company dsl. go to comcast

i'm not sure how that you coordinate with embassies in places like baghdad and riyadh and ankara.that's the trick for responsibility to be laid out very clearly, not just in the administration but also to the congress and the public. >> one of the thing we just need to because doesn't of and to manage -- what we are talking about is revamping up the war. let's be candid about this. when we reramp up the war, the humanitarian crisis is going to metastasize. i'm not saying that's not the right policy or not the right thing to do. this reminds me of the 2007 surge -- to get casualties down, they had to go up first. we need to be prepared for that and mitigated as best we can, but we need to prepare ourselves and the american people for an increase in -- it's already a catastrophe. i do not have a better word for the humanitarian situation in syria, but however bad it is now -- and it is terribly bad -- it's going to be worse as this war is essentially reenergized by us in order to empower the free syrian army to take the fight to isis, and that's going to be very painful to watch, i

you don't see that every day, and that there will be a follow up meeting in riyadh so that enmity with isis has brought together the shiite iranians and sunni saudis. >> why would the statement from the pentagon tonight and the information as publicly released by the administration so far not include any of those nations, specifically, that you mentioned to be participating on this? >> i think because the operation is still under way. because clearly, by the time the president faces the world tomorrow, either back home in the white house before he leaves or potentially in new york, by that point, he's going to have to thank the allies who were flying and joining this operation tonight. so i think that it is probably because it is still an operation midway through. >> and so clearly the decision was made in the white house that better to go to the united nations with this kind of attack already under way than to simply go there and continue to talk about something that hasn't happened yet. >> yes. and i think that they have done enough of the spade work in the last couple of weeks, dipl

there is legitimate fear in riyadh. >> you know what the other big difference is? for bush 41. there was no daylight between the secretary of state and the commander in chief. >> talk about the daylight between the secretary of state and the commander in chief, where the secretary of state almost by necessity, some close to him say, is having to go out there on his own. >> well, look at what happened last thursday, for the much-criticized we have no strategy yet. that was as much a signal to men named hagel and kerry -- >> right. >> that i'm not ready yet, you're not ready yet. he framed it badly, but he was speaking internally as much as externally. >> isn't that remarkable? >> that's one way to look at it, too. >> i would probably just call them into my office. >> that's no knock on kerry, hagel, etc. the relationship between the white house and the secretary of state, including a woman named hillary clinton. >> i have heard for a very long time there's a lot of space between john kerry and the president of the united states. i just couldn't imagine that to be th

the significance is people tomorrow morning in cairo, in riya riyadh, saudi arabia, in amman, jordan won't wake up and say america is at war against another arab nation. they're going to wake up and say -- and i suspect in some of these cities they're going to find pride. they're going to say arab countries are involved in fighting an adversary that not only some of the population opposes but that religious leaders, prominent religious leaders in saudi arabia and egypt, which are the core of religion in the sunni arab world, 3r078 nent religious leaders have said isis is not representative of islam and now you have countries that are coming to the fore to attack. it's no longer america's war. this is a coalition war. >> our military experts in studio are shaking their heads up and down in agreement. at least two of them. >> absolutely. >> why do you say absolutely? >> i'll let rick go first. >> phil, i hope you're right. but i wonder if it won't be portrayed as an american-led coalition just like desert storm was portrayed that way. and i hope you're right, and i hope that they reali

syrian moderates and then we're struggling right now as secretary kerry is all over the middle east in riyadhs on the ground that are going to do this particular job. but at the end of the day, if we don't have reliable ground forces to augment the air effort, it's going to be a long slog trying to resolve this conflict. and, of course, just the other day the white house made it very clear, we are at war with isis. at war, you have to bring all the elements of power to bear, not just diplomatic. we've got to have military people on the ground to do this. and, you know, it's not looking good at this point. i think mr. cameron's statement suggests that there will be people there, even the prime menster men st minister of australia said he is going to send advisors. they become combatants if the time continues and the circumstances dictate. >> so if we're hearing from prime minister abbott and hearing from prime minister cameron, not the direct refusal to send their troops, but we're hearing from president obama that he's not sending u.s. troops, is the president being honest with us? is he bein

>> i think the meeting in riyadh was really interesting, i'm sorry, in jebdah.was really surprised that the iraqis brought the foreign minister there, that was something when i was working five years during the war with all of our ambassadors there, we could never get the saudis to do that. never could get the saudis to do that. so i think that's a change and it's significant. it's symbolic, but it's a start. i think ultimately, senator johnson, our credibility by counties in that region, saudi, emirates, qatar, turkey, will be judged by what we do ourselves in the next few weeks and months. if the proposal to help the syrian armed opposition doesn't move forward out of washington this week and gets bogged down, i think our credibility will suffer not only with the syrian opposition but it will suffer with counties in the region. >> let me quick ask, is it true that the saudis are willing to base as well as pay for that training effort? >> i haven't received any classified briefings since i left government, senator johnson, but it seems everything i'm seeing in

trained the iraqi soldier, i can tell you times that i have gone on patrol with my counterpart general riyadh the soldiers under me went on patrols with their counterpart leaders from brigade commanders, to us, to all of us, it's just been painful to watch this whole thing. >> painful but not surprising? >> yeah, that's a hard way to put it, anderson, not surprising. because we saw the early stages of what mr. maliki was doing. he was replacing very good leaders with his approximate pr. i'll make the comparison if you go to ft. bragg, north carolina or ft. hood, texas and replace all the great leaders with guys that are paying for their positions and who are terrible leaders, in a three-year period of time, those units are going to fall apart, too, even though you have great soldiers under them. we saw a lot of really great -- let's put it we saw a lot of really good soldiers in the iraqi army. they were coming to the point where they were becoming a very good army with very good leadersh leadership. even when i was there in 2008 and that's a verybeginning to s erosion of good leadership by r

>> i think the meeting in riyadh was really interesting.i was really struck that the saudi's brought the iraqi foreign minister there and that was something when i was working in iraq five years during the war we could never get the saudi's to do that. never could get the saudi's to do that. i think that is changed and is significant. it's symbolic but it's a start. i think ultimately senator johnson our credibility by countries in that region in saudi emirates and qatar and turkey will be judged by what we do ourselves in the next few weeks and months. if their proposal to help the syrian armed opposition doesn't move forward out of washington this week and gets bogged down i think our credibility for not only with the syrian opposition but it will suffer with countries in the region. >> let me quick ask, is it true that the saudis are willing to pay for that training effort? >> i haven't received any classified briefings since i left government senator johnson but it seems everything i've seen in both arabic language as well as english la

olson and i are on the committee to talk about what we can do for health care for the 21st century riyadh part of it is to develop antibiotics that will cure illnesses. >> host: how can congress aid in the development of antibiotics? are we talking money or the fda? >> guest: and our committee it quicker approval giving the fda the tools to do it quicker and get these drugs from the lab table to the bedside. of course nih funding is important. we need a lot more medical research funding that is very bipartisan hearing congress. we also need to make sure we are doing the research to protect their own people in health care. that's our goal and it's a bipartisan goal. we have worked together and their wives are friends and i'm going to have to find another partner on health care. >> host: to be over antibiotic ourselves here in the united states and is this one of the reasons we are finding superbugs that are resistant? >> guest: there's no question about that. patients go in and they have a common cold and they think they have pneumonia and they feel when they leave the doctor's office if t

and then correspond and riyadh up. this is very typical i don't think is vindictive or anything.

experience, given the scope, the pace, the resources that isis clearly has right now, do you think in riyadhar that eventually they'll come for the throne and, thus, saudi arabia has a larger stake now in the fight against isis than they did when president george h.w. bush and jim baker were putting together that coalition? >> i think they definitely do. there's always been a fear, obviously, of an internal problem, where disenfranchised youth, radicalized youth, they have done a good job in saudi arabia controlling this and really understand their own population. but there's a fear that this could become a wave that washes down the gulf and eventually comes to their backyard. i think that's greater now than it might have been in the past even with al qaeda. >> general, when you take a look at the big picture in the region, and we were talking about this israeli announcement of the new settlement and appropriation of land, how does that create a ripple effect that then plays into the hands of groups like isis? >> i think it's clear this was a move out of either frustration or revenge for the
